Abstract

In this paper the authors listed 27 ant-lion (Myrmeleontidae) and 7 owl-fly (Ascalaphidae) species from Madagascar preserved in both museum collections: SCMK (Kaposvár, Hungary) and USMB (Bytom, Poland). Palpares germaini Navás, 1919 is a junior synonym of Palpares martini van der Weele, 1907, its type locality was confused in the original description. It is not a member of the fauna of Madagascar but that of Northern Africa. Centroclisis alluaudi (Weele, 1909) is combined to Syngenes alluaudi (Weele, 1909) n. comb.; Disteleon majungalensis (Esben-Petersen, 1916) is combined to Nemoleon majungalensis (EsbenPetersen, 1916) n. comb. Neeles belohensis Navás, 1924 from East Afrika is a junior synonym of Disteleon majungalensis (Esben-Petersen, 1916). Visca magnus Ábrahám sp. n. and Visca murzini Ábrahám sp. n. are new species. Botjederinus Ábrahám gen. n. is a new genus, genotype species is Suphalomitus cephalotes (McLachlan, 1871). Fadrina rufa Navás, 1912 is a new species for the Malgassan ant-lion fauna.
